The veteran's request for additional tutorial assistance benefits was denied as the maximum amount of $100 per month has already been awarded. The appeal is based on a misunderstanding or misapplication of the law rather than any legal entitlement to further benefits.
The deciding factor: The veteran had already received the maximum amount of tutorial assistance benefits available under the law, and no additional period(s) beyond January to April 2007 were claimed or supported by evidence.

What this means for you
A final Board denial may be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, generally within 120 days of the Board mailing date. A Supplemental Claim with new and relevant evidence is a separate option. Another Higher-Level Review of the Board decision is not available. Check your own notice: this historical decision does not set your deadline.
What you can do next
